This was the first time many viewers had laid eyes on the source of the taint.
[Why is everything so dark here? Even the sky looks murky black.]

[Not a single blade of green grass grows on this ground. The soil is pitch-black everywhere.]
[Can anyone really survive in a place like this? I find that hard to believe.]
Gillian had reached 9th Legion headquarters by this point.
The midnight air was far cooler than the daylight heat.
This was the hour when everyone ought to be resting.
Yet beastmen all across the Outer Planet stayed wide awake. Anyone with a wrist terminal was glued to this live broadcast.
Gillian sat in the main meeting hall, holding her breath.
On screen, Merrick was showing the viewers the parasite nest.
The pitch-black cavern was heavily contaminated. Beastman soldiers kept darting through the frame, clearing up the battlefield.
It was plain to see that the 9th Legion had fully taken control of the area.
The moment had come. She typed a comment and sent it live.
[This place looks terrifying. What kind of creatures live down here? Commander, tell us more. Why does the source of the taint have a cave like this? And why are you here?]
Postings sent through Blue Phoenix appeared prominently above all other comments.
Merrick spotted her alternate account right away. A faint smile tugged at his normally stern mouth, and his deep eyes lit up against the black surroundings.
He said, “Since someone has asked, I will explain. This is the nest of a parasitic species that has infested the Outer Planet for a hundred years.”
Sharp-witted viewers caught on instantly.
(Commander, are you saying these parasites arrived on our planet alongside the taint?]

[Don’t try weaseling out of this. You killed a Phoenixkin beastman, not some bug. Are you claiming that Phoenixkin are all parasites?]
[Exactly. I saw those golden wings clear as day. That was a genuine Phoenixkin. Don’t take us for fools.]
The comment section split sharply. Some trusted Merrick’s words, while others accused him of making up excuses to avoid punishment.
Merrick said nothing more. He simply led the audience deeper inside to see the evidence with their own eyes.
The disturbing traces left by the creatures made everyone watching the live stream stunned.
[What even are these things? Their holes range from palm-sized to higher than a level 3 beastman. What kind of monster is this?]
[Holy shit!]
[Holy shit!]
[Holy shit!]
Merrick stayed perfectly calm, never letting angry comments rattle him.
Gillian looked away from the screen and stroked the Blue Phoenix fragment between her fingers.
Using the fragment’s signal reflection when she exited the arena, she had traced the IDs of every broadcast operator across the Elemental Cities.
Right now, however, she could not reach them in time.
Her lowered eyelids masked the cold glint in her eyes.
Her fingers tapped slowly against the metal terminal. She would settle scores with these people one by one, in due time.
A male’s furious shout suddenly echoed outside the hall. “Who dares to stop us? Tell the people inside to come out.”
Gillian turned toward the door.
Who dared raise such a racket inside 9th Legion headquarters at this hour?

The man shouted sharply, “You 9th Legion troops are playing double games! You detained Department of Justice officers here. What exactly are you trying to do?”
The 9th Legion soldiers kept their patience and tried to negotiate.
One of them said, “We truly cannot reach Commander Cole right now. Only our colonels have authority at the moment. Please wait a little longer while we contact him…”
The man snapped angrily, “Don’t play dumb. We watched you escort a high-ranking officer into this meeting hall-at the very least a colonel.
